The SMOG sensor project became a bit complex – along with the addition of relay. In the mean time thanks to Gijs Noorlander and yours- since you build, ask and use the sensor – we got updated version of ESPEasy MEGA 2.0 for ESP8266. Why the new blog entry? That’s because Gijs added the included […]

Measurement of basic environmental data in our apartment – temperature and humidity is one of the most popular applications of commonly available sensors for Raspberry Pi (RPi), Orange Pi (OPi) and ESP8266. Then we added ability to measure the SMOG otuside and inside and today we will deal with two new and very interesting air […]

As a result, a both fresh and advanced user finds himself in a situation where the system – ceases to work at all, or requires frequent restarts, or worse causes quick degradation of the main storage device – which is often (micro) SD card. Is there a simple and effective solution to increase Domoticz’s availability […]

Język/Language: Polski English Last time we updated our simple SMOG sensor with display (OLED) and added BME 280 to verify the SMOG measurements – the environmental sensor – as we know that humidity over 70% can add up to the SMOG. It’s time now to protect our sensor. Why do we need sensor protection? Smog sensor […]

What will you need? Hardware working SMOG sensor from previous entry, the Nettigo store has […]

Recently, we built a smog sensor which measures PM2.5 and PM10 ppm particles common in SMOG. This time let’s focus on something easy to do, without deliberations on extending life of the sensor. The Nova Fitness SDS011 (also versions 018 or 015) has proven to be quite accurate, with a good life expectancy, even with […]

We do know how to install domoticz. But how easy is to control heating in your house/flat? After full season of testing radiator control – I can recommend a very interesting and useful heating control system that you can setup in your home or apartment. All just by means of adding radiator thermostats with Z-Wave […]

PLNOG is a conference held in Warsaw and Krakow twice a year. This is the place where IT and telco people meet. Last time I spoke about some of my experiences in building small devices, listen if want to (Polish only): During next PLNOG 19 I’m going to talk about SMOG sensor: Big Thank You […]

Proper supply of power is a very important part of our SBC (Small Board Computers) projects. Power supplies with too low current efficiency, instability and lack of filtration – often lead to accidental resets, lack of sensor readings or simply unstable behavior of SBCs. One of the solution is to modify the power supply from […]

We already know how to track airplanes using DVB-T USB dongle and Orange Pi or Raspberry Pi. Let’s move on to a new system that allows tracking of light aircrafts: gliders helicopters baloons smaller airplanes FLARM – is a collision avoidance system for light aircrafts, popularized and approved by EASA, gaining traction, used mainly on gliders […]
